I saw some of the press conference.

Being investigated as a hate crime until determined otherwise.

Meanwhile, church and synagogue shootings are not investigated as hate crimes until evidence says otherwise.

MSM praying they’re right wingers. 2 of them-both teenagers. It’s usually just one loner pulling that stuff.

True.

So much circumspection by the spokespeople.

One cop at the press conference said something convoluted like the security guard was involved in a manner that may have led to fewer casualties at the mosque.

That may mean the two perps panicked and killed themselves rather than face the courts and prison. What other reason would lead them to not try spraying the people with rounds?

that’s what i’m thinking. They jumped in there, were going to shoot up the place, got scared and did themselves in.

It’s like the guy who recently tried to kill trump. The teacher. He said in his manifesto he was prepared to die. He had a big plan, probably grew up on video games and thought it was going to be like Black Ops 3. He was jumped on and captured and humiliated. That was the worst possible outcome for him. Who knows

From GROK

Two of the 9/11 hijackers—Khalid al-Mihdhar and Nawaf al-Hazmi—prayed there regularly after arriving in San Diego in early 2000. They lived nearby (e.g., at the Parkwood Apartments in Clairemont, a short distance away), and mosque members/associates provided them with significant practical help.
kpbs.org

Key details from official and investigative sources (including the 9/11 Commission Report):On February 4, 2000, the hijackers went to the Islamic Center of San Diego specifically to find Omar al-Bayoumi (a Saudi associate) and accept his offer of assistance. He helped them rent an apartment, open a bank account, and more.

An administrator at the center allowed Hazmi to use his personal bank account to receive a $5,000 wire transfer from Ali Abdul Aziz Ali (a nephew of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed) in April 2000.

Mosque members also helped them obtain Social Security numbers, driver’s licenses, buy a car, and settle in. Some hosted a welcoming party.

Anwar al-Awlaki (later a prominent al-Qaeda figure) had connections there as well and interacted with the hijackers in San Diego.

WTF is this “Islamic Center” still in operation??? who is protecting it?
